SimLink™
The SimLink™ provides communication features
between various
MOON components. For example, if
you were to connect the 650D to the 740P Preamplifier
via the SimLink™, pressing the
X
(play) button on the
650D would cause the preamplifier automatically
switch to it’s designated input for the CD Player. You
must assign the input with the name “650D” for this
feature to work
. If you were to adjust the brightness
level of the large digital display window using the
“Display” button on the
740P , the brightness level of
the 650D ’s display will automatically adjust to the same
brightness level as that of the 740P . Since the SimLink™
is a true bi-directional connection, adjusting the 650D ’s
brightness level will automatically adjust the brightness
level of the
740P .
A third feature of SimLink™ involves the “Standby”
function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby”
button for 2 seconds on the
740P , all other MOON
components connected via the SimLink will go into
“Standby” mode along with the
740P. The same logic
applies when switching from “Standby” to active mode.
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very basic.
You must always connect the supplied cable between
one component’s “SimLink™ Out” jack and another
component’s “SimLink™ In” jack. If you inadvertently
connect the cable between either two “SimLink™ In” or
two “SimLink™ Out” jacks, the SimLink™ communication
feature will not function. Also, there is no master
component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular
component operates as the main communications
controller.
If you are using your MOON 740P with an older MOON
product such as a SuperNova, you will need to update
the software of the older product to allow for complete
SimLink™ functionality. Contact your retailer for further
details.
Operating the 740P
We recommend that you leave your MOON 740P dual-
mono preamplifier powered up at all times to maintain
optimal performance. When you plan to be away from
your home for a few days, powering off the preamplifier
may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please
keep in mind that your
740P will require several hours
of playing time before it reaches its peak performance
after you’ve powered it up again.
Turning on your MOON 700i for the first time
Prior to turning the preamplifier on for the first time,
make sure that every cable is properly connected to
avoid any problems. Flick the main rocker switch,
located on the rear panel, labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’
(on) position to place your
740P in to standby mode.
Next, briefly press the push button labeled “Standby”
located on the front panel. You will hear a very faint
click sound confirming that everything is in order. The
blue LED on the front panel will illuminate, indicating
that the
740P is now powered up and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps” and
“pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering
your
740P on or off, you should always power up your
740P preamplifier before powering up your amplifier.
As well, always power down your 740P after powering
down your amplifier.
